The Office, "Safety Training"
Allow me a moment to feel sorry for myself. I've been sick. The worst kind of sick. The dreaded stomach flu. And yes. I will spare you the details.
But last night, as I was nearing recovery, I sat down with Paul to watch an episode of "The Office" which we recorded sometime during tax season. Please. Please, somebody, tell me you saw this episode! It was the episode about "Safety Training" in which Michael demonstrates the dangers of office-induced depression by faking his own suicide. And how will he do this? He intends to jump off the top of the building on to a hidden bounce-around toy, after testing the idea by dropping watermelons off the building, one of which hits Stanley's car.
Oh...MY! That show was absolutely-freaking-hilarious. Especially the subplot in which the office workers begin to gamble on everything, including whether or not Michael's suicidal intentions are genuine. And Dwight's "Shun/Un-Shun"was classic. Just classic.
Kids, if you haven't seen it, you can download it from iTunes. I will personally reimburse you the $1.99 if you don't agree it is one of TVs truly hilarious shows.
Anyway. So, I was so sick yesterday that when I dragged myself to the nursery, I was unable to concentrate sufficiently to choose any flowers for my various containers. Feeling sorry for me yet? Oh yeah, it was bad.

Damn...unable to concentrate on flowers? Did anyone call Life Flight?
you DO know The Office is a british show in origin right? a pretty crap one IMO but a brt export nonetheless
Yeah, Cookie, I know. I even rented the BBC version, but I totally didn't get it. First off, I couldn't understand the language, and secondly, I think there must have been lots of cultural references. At least that was the excuse I gave it for being quite unfunny. I wonder if you'd think the American version is funny.
